DISPLAY TRAY.

`Application led April 13, 1921. Serial No. 461,045.

' brick.

To this end my invention consists in the features of construction hereinafter more particularly described and claimed.

In the dra-wings:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my display tray.

Figure 2 is a. central vertical cross section.

Figure 3 is a detail perspective view partly broken away. l

Figure4 is a detail of the covering strip 7.

Figure 5 is a detail of one of the sample bricks, and

`Figure 6 is a detail illustrating a method y of fastening the sample bricks in place.

In carrying out my invention I provide a plurality of sample bricks of less thickness than the regular brick and cut away or channeled, upon the rear sides as illustrated in the drawings. For the purpose of carrying these sample brick I provide a frame B comprising a back wall 2, side walls 3, and a plurality of strips 4 connecting the side walls and constituting openings to receive the bricks whereby the sample bricks wili when in position be separated both on their sides and ends by these strips. These wooden strips 4 are formed Aontheir outer faces with grooves 5 so when painted they will have the appearance of the ordinary motor joint used in brick work construction. The wooden strips 4 are suitably secured in position between the side walls of the framel of the openings constituted by the strips 4 is filled with a sample brick A,blocks 6 being positioned between the end bricks and the adjacent side walls and a cover strip 7 secured over the side walls and overlapping the bricks as shown in Figure v1 with a felt or other resilient strip 9 positioned between the strip 7 and the bricks.

The sample bricks are securedy vwithin the frame openings either by having the inner y edges of the side walls glued to the back wall of the frame'or by constructing the sample bricks and separating strips in the dovetailed shape shown in Figurev 6.

By means of the features of construction shown I secure a verylight and attractive construction of display, and one that can be conveniently and easily carried by the salesman and which supports and holds the samn ple bricks in position in a resiliently anchored manner.

I claim:

A display sample of the class described,

consisting of a wooden frame comprising back and side walls, a plurality of wooden strips connecting said side walls and formsing spaced openings, bricks tted within said openings, an edge strip secured to said side walls and overlapping said bricks and means anchoring said bricks in position between said separating strips.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.

WILLIAM c. Koen.
